I was on a prednisone schedule for about a week a few weeks ago, and my appetite increased and I gained 10 lbs. I've been on prednisone on and off all my life so I know how it works..... But I'm also unsure if it's the meds I take for my bipolar disorder that might be causing the increase in appetite.

I usually have virtually no appetite. So..... even if the half life of prednisone is just an hour, could this be an issue from the prednisone or what?
